Enchanted Forest Birthday Party

This whimsical ENCHANTED FOREST BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Effi Tsoukatos of Le Petit Party in Australia. I love all of the woodland and fairy elements in this party! And the names given to the different foods are so creative and tie in perfectly with the theme!

Here are some of my other favorite things in this enchanted forest birthday party:
The flower, moss, and branch centerpieces
The colored glass drink bottles
The tufts of “fairy floss” cotton candy
The “sweet dew drops” lemonade
and MORE!

This is what Effi said about planning the party- “This birthday party was truly magical. The dessert table was set up as a enchanted forest using real wood stumps & logs, green moss & fresh berries. The table featured a central mushroom with fairy sitting on top. It included magic mushroom cookies, butterfly cookies, magic pink marshmallow mushrooms, candy forest berries, chocolate berry cups, chocolate forest logs & fairy floss. Each guest also received a hessian bag filled with berry candy as well as a personalised chocolate bar.
Each dining table was adorned with a grass table runner & wooden centrepiece featuring large green leaves, pink flowers, moss & pretty butterflies. They also had twinkling lights which were particularly pretty at night.

The birthday cake was an amazing gelato creation in the shape of a mushroom. Yum!

It was a great afternoon!”

Woodland Garden Birthday Party

This WOODLAND GARDEN BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Natalia Gerolamo of Laços e Açúcar from Brazil. I love that woodland owls are combined with ladybugs and worms to create a unique garden in this party! So many cute ideas!

Here are some of the best parts:
The owl shaped chocolates
The lollipop flower pots with ladybugs on the “stems”
The coconut flesh shaped into flowers
The caterpillar party favor tubes
The adorable owl and bird fondant cake
and MORE!

Sweets: Docices and Alessandra Tonisi

Here’s what Natalia said about planning the party- “Nina is a very happy and dynamic girl. For this reason, her mother wanted to have a garden theme for Nina’s party, but with a lot of colors. There was turquoise, pink and red! Also, she wanted to add owls into the garden to give it more personality, hence the woodland garden.

After that, we decided to develop the party by decorating the different desserts to look like animals in Nina’s Garden. We had honey chocolate cakes designed as Ladybugs and chocolate truffles as Bird Nests+Baby Birds. The sweet apples were made out of chocolate and topped with a little worm. They looked like real apples! There were also owls made out of chocolate and coconut flesh shaped like flowers. We used cake stands with bird and flower details to display some of the different desserts. Every single detail came together create the wealth and beauty of a real woodland garden.”

Woodland Owl Buddies 1st Birthday Party

3

It doesn’t get much cuter than this WOODLAND OWL BUDDIES 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Stephanie Keeping of Spaceships and Laser Beams!

Stephanie said this about planning the party- “With this dessert table, we wanted to prove that boy’s first birthday parties could be beautiful. The theme is based on our Woodland Buddies Collection from the Spaceships and Laser Beams Etsy Shop. Sweet treats for the dessert table included mini baked vanilla donuts (raccoon bites), almond meringues (owl kisses), a caramel swirl birthday cake and chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting. To keep the budget low, the flowers selected were white carnations. By creating a cluster of the same flower, it helps it look a little more expensive. We also created a gauzy curtain with 4 yards of tulle, which was a bargain at a dollar a yard.”

Enchanted Fairy 2nd Birthday Party

3

This amazing ENCHANTED FAIRY SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Sophie & Mia Fay of Bon Bon Boutique.

“Fairy wand… check. Fairy wings… check. Ridiculously over the top fairy skirt…check. And Willow was now ready to celebrate her second birthday party… a party which is in most small girls dreams. An enchanted affair filled with fairy fabulousness and a hint of woodlands magic.

Willlow’s party has, like most of our events been in the pipeline for sometime, with a Pinterest board created for our reference we went about defining our colour palette, use of fabrics and patterns first.

The colour palette we decided on was pink on pink ..”blush and bashful” (for the steel magnolia diehards) with a splash of red & just a hint of forest green. We used pink and white tulle, some with metallic threads, green velvets and toadstool prints.

For the kidlets we created a little fairy table laid with handmade moss runners (complete with sparkles, so it glittered dew like in the sun!), miniature candy terrariums and toadstool seat. Luckily we had a very handy seamstress available who converted simple ikea stools into toadstools by making spotted chair pads. The plastic no spill bottles were teamed with spotted retro paper straws and each child had a pink place setting with scalloped edge plates and matching napkins.

The main table featured a lot of botanicals with a hydrangea & moss wreath, real tree stump and mini mondo grass pots (in which the star cookie wands found a home..BUT NOT FOR LONG! These were a huge hit with all the kids.)

All our plates were lined with various candy in the chosen colour range and the food assortment included strawberry cheesecake, brownies, jelly pots, chocolate cupcakes, fairy pillow doughnuts, pixie popcorn, watermelon stars & berry cups.

The cake was a creation of Mia, and was the most amazing ruffled creation with a layered chocolate cake inside.

Fun was had by all with a lollipop heart hunt and a bubble wand pass the parcel. All the cake stands, glass ware and paper goods were supplied by Bon Bon Boutique.”

Rustic Owl Thanksgiving Party- FREE PRINTABLES!

4

This lovely RUSTIC OWL THANKSGIVING PARTY was submitted by Deanna Talwalkar of Mirabelle Creations! Such a beautiful party with so many wonderful ideas! The best part- the printable place cards, coloring sheets, leaves, and owl utensil holders can be downloaded for FREE here {the links are at the bottom of the post}!

Here is what Deanna had to say about planning the party- “{Dessert Table} We have a fall landscape painting by local artist, David Farmer, hanging in our living room. I’ve always envisioned a Thanksgiving dessert table set up beneath this beautiful painting. Since I wanted the painting to be the focus of the table, I kept most of the other decorations simple. And, like the painting, the desserts are rustic with just a little touch of glam.

For the desserts, I made a rustic Pumpkin Stack Cake. The Cake is a modern update to the classic Appalachian Apple Stack Cake (a rustic staple from Kentucky). It is made with pumpkin flavored cake and pumpkin butter between the many layers. It is served with cinnamon whipped cream. The dessert table also includes Maple Crème Cookies, Mini Apple Blueberry Pies, Pumpkin Pie, and Caramel Apples. I packaged extra Pumpkin Butter in mason jars to send home with all of the guests.

Although the painting is the focus of the table, I used a few other items to style the table. A gold pumpkin, gold acorns, a printable sign, and burlap cake stand flower also add rustic touches to the design.

{Thanksgiving Place Setting} The adult table place setting keeps with the rustic, glam look. The table is covered with burlap with a gold table runner down the center. Instead of a large centerpiece, red garden roses in small vases and mason jars decorated with gold paint sit down the center of the table. Spray painted ceramic turkeys and pumpkins embellish the table. A variety of red Spode plates sit atop woven charger plates. The napkins are tied with jute that was adorned with gold acorns.

{Kids Table} For the kids’ table, I first started by designing a printable collection which coordinates with the other printables. Even though the kids’ table incorporates the same colors and patterns, it’s not just a pint size version of the adult table. Fun touches at each place setting will keep the kids busy throughout Thanksgiving dinner. Owl coloring pages serve as place mats. Beside each plate, there are crayons and a little composition notebook that is covered with paper and a printable party circle. The kids can color on these items and on the craft paper that tops the table. The napkins are tied with a paper leaf and mini acorn owl made using felt.

The printable place cards, coloring sheets, leaves, and owl utensil holders can be downloaded for FREE here.”
